Day 3, Sunday 15th March 2020, School Closure Ireland


Sunday morning, lovely sunny morning, cold wind though; one of those mornings when it is almost Summer in the sun and yet still winter in the shade. I had a walk on my local road in the morning.
Then in the early evening, I got a walk in the grounds of Glenstal Abbey, a monastery and exclusive boarding school for boys, only 5 miles from my house.

Gorse in flower. The flowers smell like coconut.
But mind those thorns!

I live in the Irish countryside. I love walking and looking at the sky overhead. I also love spinning! If you have any questions about spinning or any comments about my blog, just let me know by leaving a comment. Thanks.
